morning

hey, hows life at the continent?

fine... still getting used to it all...

things are familiar and different at the same time.

well, now you can sit there and gloat as little-england slowly commits suicide.

there is no stopping it now, its like a Kafka novel where a country willingly chops off its legs.

every day slightly worse and more bizarre than the previous

It’s fine!!

“We won’t be able to start negotiating any trade deals until after we leave, and paid our 2.3 trillon £ divorce bill” <— This is fine!

@martintrojer that would be schadenfreude....

not something I prefer.

Morning..stop depressing me and talk Clojure people 😉

ok... I am going to look at the Clojure code today....

(once I have figured out how to clone the bitbucket repo)

it's even production code!!!

but first... some tea (you can take a Dutchman out of of England... but you can't take the Englishness he has acquired out if him)

@thomas I've shipped two changes to prod already and 3rd and 4th are on their way today.

might not sound impressive but I spent 18 months at my previous client without shipping anything to production!

Mine was the special “It’s fine"

The "A nuclear device has detonated within 1 mile of me but if I duck and cover I'll be fine" - It's fine?

Morning

Morning.

That's the one! Sitting at a burning bar fine.

I don’t think I’ve shipped anything further than public beta for about 2 years. It’s rediculous

I hope it’s not my fault

is that because the products you've been working on are in permanent beta @glenjamin ?

it’s been three different jobs, the left the first couple because they kept making excuses for not moving past beta

and this current one is a massive rewrite like-for-like with a tiny team

don't worry too much @glenjamin I worked on a few projects that didn't ship/got canned over the years. Eventually you'll find something that will work for you (I hope your current one does)

I’m currently working out my notice 😄

I contract, so I don’t mind moving around. I do mind not shipping though 😞

ok, I hope you have something lined up that works out for you.

@glenjamin as you know in my previous client I never wrote production code....as gatekeeper of code quality I simply wrote exemplars that other dev's cut and pasted so they could pass my code reviews! 😉

For those of you who haven't already bought your tickets to Clojure eXchange on the 1st and 2nd December https://skillsmatter.com/conferences/7430-clojure-exchange-2016 - I have good news and bad news: Bad news: the tickets just went up to full price Good news: as you know one of the organisers 😉 you get to use the following code for a 30% discount: CLOJUREX_SPECIAL_SLK_30

Bloody brexit raising prices of tickets as well as Macs hehe

Wat! I didn’t know about the discount. Luckily my company is paying.

@paulspencerwilliams SkillsMatter whipped up a discount for me about 1pm when they heard I was posting stuff in Slack so it's only just existed

hehe, k

there.. I did it... I made a emoji... @otfrom

how about a :dancing_bruce: next @thomas ?

dang... what an idea... we need a gif somehow for that.

looking at the emojis that have been added is quite interesting...

That’s the “i just started a clojure job” emoji

aw_yeah

it is indeed

1st and 2nd of Dec I’m kind of busy. No conferences until some time into 2017!

conf highlight of the year starts tmo
